I want 1 to be the right answer in the isolated islands question and 4 in the 57q set 333 rather than the option which says poets of rennaissance keeping my fingers crossed.

Can anyone who feels that answer to "island question " is 1,

why can't 3 be the answer??

1 says that "islands evolve differently"
3 says that "because of their sizes and endowments they evolve differently" and this is mentioned in the last paragraph.

Can somebody explain who has understood the passage ?

1 is better because 3 explicitly says that "this difference can be attributed to their endowments and size"... which is never explicitly stated in the passage...

I know it is implied, but then going by the implication argument even option 4 is correct...

All this is in reference to set 222... hope the options are same in all sets...

google up for just "that same year" and you find:

1. That same year Nissan was party to an industry lawsuit aimed at blocking stricter emissions legislation in California. Responsible Shopper Profile: Nissan

2. That same year he emigrated to the United States, (american journal of sociology)

3. And that same year the sun was eclipsed one hour of the day. (dont know if this would count) Medieval Sourcebook: The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle on Alfred the Great

4. Biographical Dictionary of American ... - Google Book Search second para second line

5. That same year he created a graphic printing process, “Reflecto Card” Browse Books - Lulu.com

6. That same year she married actor Jeremy Thomas, but that union only lasted two months. Drew Barrymore on Digital Hit's Celebrity Row. Biography, news and information


these are a few results from the first three pages.. there were a few results with a comma as well after 'year' but in most of these 'few' results..the comma was there to serve a purpose..

like anirban says.. nothing to say!! ;-)

My heart says that the IIMs would give option 3 as thire key for this question.... At runtime, it seemed the best option to me and thus marked it...... (1) cannot be the answer as it does not provide any insight about the sizes of the islands and its corresponding advantage in providing the insights...which, according to me, doesnt make it an apt answer..

I am sure the correct answer is either 3 or 4, which talks about the sizes and endowments...

Anyways, lets see what IIMs have to say.. By the way, Roots Education thinks that the answer to this question is option 3...


Season 2007-2008:

Results awaited: IIMs
XLRI : Selected
MhCET : 99.83 (146/200)
